One should also not forget high CO2 developments in classrooms and its impact on test scores. We measured these in a school last year and it regularly went above 3000ppm [1].

Studies show cognitive impacts already at relatively low increases. So the atmospheric CO2 build up could also in the long term impact our cognitive performance.

Lol do you guys actually know each other?
This was a while ago, so I imagine things will have changed but:

1. As the dev of a code quality tool, it was (and still is) super unclear to me which tiers allow test reports, or custom reports.

2. For at least 6 months it was very unclear which tiers got true Jira "smart commits". The solution was simply to rewrite the docs to not use that wording, and push users to pay for a Jira extension rather than support it in Gitlab shrug.

It's not that difficult. I made one for myself too with an ESP8266, a RTC clock module, a temperature sensor and a hd44780 screen.

It displays the time and date, outside/inside temperature, humidity, barometric pressure.

I have the modules mounted on a breadboard, currently in vertical position with wires hangihg out. :)

Yikes. There's absolutely no reason to do this. You get equally useful results by comparing to current standard of care, and that's the thing you ultimately need to measure for approval of a treatment for which existing treatments exist anyway (the FDA wouldn't approve a drug that's better than nothing but markedly worse than the current standard of care, so that's the benchmark).

Google is the primary driver of the PWA standard - you can make great, native-like webapps on Android that will install themselves through their "WebAPK" system. I'm not sure why they are doing this, it may just be another way to step around monopoly charges - either way, it's cool tech.

Apple is the real issue here, because they purposefully cripple any such API, if they ever get around to implementing it(they have far more to lose). Just look at the MDN pages of any API built to facilitate native-like capabilities, you'll see them all missing or crippled on mobile Safari.

Developers: your moment has come at last to humble your local system administrator for wearing those "I read your emails" t-shirts. This is as day zero as day zero gets. Red Hat and Debian published their security announcements just two hours ago at the exact same moment this was posted on Hacker News. It would have been more responsible to keep something this bad under wraps a bit longer. Because all the people who still use things like cpanel virtual hosting are at risk.

1. MP3. I had played with audio before (.wav and .rm, for those who remember). The first time I heard the audio quality out of a 4 MB audio .mp3 file was shocking.

2. HDR. I saw a demo monitor back in the early 2000s. It was a 12-inch display with a full array of white LED backlights, individually addressable. They had it running next to a normal monitor and the difference in dynamic range was unbelievable. The company that made that demo unit was ultimately purchased by Dolby.

3. VR. I got a demo of the HTC Vive when it was still pre-market and could not believe the lack of latency and true sense of realism. It was a mind-expanding moment.
You can also use an external connector if you want to. This is a very valid use-case, especially if you connect internal APIs or private sources that wouldn't make sense for the community.

On Windows and MacOS this happens to users who launch multiple profiles from the same version at the same time via --no-remote and -P/--profile-manager or in multi user systems where one user updates Firefox and the other person is logged in and running the older version of Firefox.

As Jamie mentioned above Firefox is trying to launch a new process and is unable to find a matching binary. Before Mozilla detected the in-between update state there it was common to see spikes of crashes that were related to process spawning.

The choice Mozilla has is to allow the user randomly crash with a chance of profile corruption or alerting the user about the state and asking the user to trigger an orderly shutdown.

Genuinely curious - why do these drugs cost so much? Can we make it cheaper? I know there’s a lot of hit & miss and that the cost of the drug also covers the misses, but it feels like we should be able to do this for millions, not billions.
Short version:

Without the implied freedom of political views, the protected classes gain little to nothing from the equal protection clause. The post war amendments were intended not just to ensure equal treatment under the law, but also allow equal political participation.

What good is allowing a black man to participate in the political process if, for example, desegregation is a disallowed political view?

Long version:

I'm saying the combination of the following elements of the constitution:

A guaranteed republican form of government clause, (democratically elected officials represent the political views of their citizens)

The 1st amendment, (government may not restrict/compel/suppress speech, freedom of association)

the 14th amendment (as interpreted), including:

1- equal protection clause,

2- federal constitutional restrictions applied to states, and

3- protections extended to privately held, public facing entities, (as is required to interpret the civil rights act as constitutional)

...Leaves no room to interpret political affiliation/views as being less protected than any protected class.

Freedom of political view and affiliation is required as a cornerstone for the rest of the system to be built upon. Equal protection, as a means of allowing minorities or protected classes equal participation in the political process itself, as well as civil life, requires an underlying political process in which to participate. If that process is fundamentally restricted (via taboo political beliefs) then the protected classes aren't really protected, if they are allowed in the process, but their political views are not.

Does System76 make a laptop with a high dpi screen? It seems that is table stakes these days...Seems like this is a pretty expensive laptop (portable desktop), but perhaps for gaming it's not a big deal. However, if you are programming or doing some other text intensive activity the low-dpi screens would be deal breaker.
It used to be possible to order spare parts if you asked in the shops - customer service. Their backend system supports this and they can mail you the parts (at least here in DK).

Then they removed this option because (I was told by an employee) people bought old IKEA furniture and fixed it instead of buying new stuff.

Now we are back to the beginning.

That's correct, but my app didn't have any specific feature that makes it a "spy cam", it's just a funny feature, indeed you can use any video recording app as a "spy cam".

> 1996 to 2020, only in 2004 did the Republican candidate get a majority of the votes.

Nobody cares about the popular vote. The electoral college incentivizes Republicans to campaign in states that don’t necessarily yield a ton of popular votes, and disincentizes them from campaigning in states like California that have a lot of votes. The President popular vote simply doesn’t reflect what the results would be if people were actually trying to win the popular vote.

Republicans routinely win the House popular vote, where these incentives to go after smaller states don’t exist, and there is an incentive to campaign in the red counties of blue states. Republicans won the House popular vote 8 times since 1992. Democrats won the House popular vote 6 times.

In particular, Republicans won the House popular vote in both 2000 and 2016. Do you think Bush and Trump couldn’t have matched the popular vote share of congressional Republicans if they had an incentive to campaign in every red House district in California?

Folks love to speculate about alternative election systems where we used a direct popular vote. But if we’re imagining a counter-factual scenario with a different election system, why that one? Direct election of the executive is unusual. Nearly every developed country chooses the executive based on who gets the majority in the legislature. Under that system, we would have had even more Republican executives (16 years) and less Democratic executives (12 years) since 1992.

The Dark Reader extension does that very well and even works on mobile (Firefox for Android).

If you really want to do this without extensions, you could try applying a global CSS filter using one of the CSS files in the profile folder (I don't remember which, but I think it's userStyles or globalStyle.css - should be easy to look up). The filter to apply is first an invert(1), then a hueRotate(180deg) on top of it.

It's not perfect, and it will have the opposite effect on pages that are already dark, but it's the best you can do without an extension.

I wonder how much has to do with the cost-optimization pressure on a private carrier. Building robust infrastructure is only valuable to them insofar as it enables them to continue to earn money. Reliable service for the sake of reliable service--especially to residential regions--is a non-starter.

Less pessimistically, it's possible that the regions that're affected have natural "choke points" for infrastructure, either moving through the mountains or along highways, etc., which of course leads to a single-point-of-failure, though it may be unlikely.

I always say that AI is a forever moving goal post. It is simply a task a human can do that you wouldn't expect a machine to be able to do. So as soon as a machine can do it, people no longer consider it intelligent (i.e. it is just A*, it is just a chess engine, it is just a network picking up on patches of texture, ..., it isn't really "intelligent").

So it is a bit click baity, sure. But how many people really think about anisotropic plies? (cool word, anisotropic, by the way)

Folks who have done 3D printing figure out pretty quickly that the orientation of the print can have a large effect on the various structural properties of the thing printed. I basically spent the first couple of months printing various test objects in different orientations to get a better understanding of this.

For that reason, the paper gives a reasonable way to approach the question of "how can I make this stronger?".
I don't use uBlock. But I learned how to write chrome extensions and it turned out extremely easy to insert my own CSS and JS snippets to the selected pages. So I just added few URL filters to remove most obnoxious tracking and ads, I added very few CSS edits to the selected websites to remove popups and I added some JS to youtube to remove its ads. Web is pretty fast and usable for me. I did not cut every ad, but I don't often browse new websites and I'm okay with some ads as long as they're not very bad.

The reason I don't use uBlock is because I think that it's overkill for me to run thousands of filters for every website in the world. And also I like the fact that I'm in control of my user agent. For example recently I turned off feature on some website which paused video when I switched to another tab. I did not like that feature, so I disabled corresponding JS handler, simple as that.

It's not what you have to do, or how, it's that for the first time we have a common model for data interchange (RDF) with which you can model concepts and things in your domain, or more-importantly across domains, and simply merge the datasets. Try that with the relational model or JSON. Integration is the main value proposal of RDF today, nobody sane is trying to build a single global ontology of the world .

I think it would be a good thing. This sounds harsh but honestly most of the the types of people that are unwilling to pay $1-3 per month for the service are probably the types that don't make the service a better social network.

It would also hopefully disincentivize government agencies and maybe even politicians from using it as a channel of communications since it's more along the lines of a traditional business arrangement and not a "free, TV-like" service.
The funny thing is that when you look at the pieces on the static typing side there is no way to solve the problem at all.

For example, the piece which has two legs of the giraffe should to at the bottom most position but it doesn't have a single straight edge so it can't be a bottom most piece.

A deeper message is....

Dynamic typing: Solve your problems but leave bugs because you moved too fast.

Static typing: Discover that there is no sound solution, then have to manually cut and glue pieces together to satisfy your type checker.
